Two Projects Done

Saturday, June 23, 2007

I spent a good chunk of Friday night putting a second coat of paint on the trim in the mudroom. Oil-based paint is just not fun. And trying to clean up a drip from an uneven brick floor is near to impossible. Good thing I like the “lived-in” look.

Wade spent part of Saturday making me a coark board for the wall. We recently bought one for the kitchen and after much searching bought the best we could find. It isn’t very nice. The cork is very thin and backed with a board. Trying to push in a push-pin takes super effort. Wade knew exactly what I wanted so he built a nice one, with a thick cork board, for the entryway of the mudroom.

Now there are only two projects left in association with the mudroom – Wade is going to lay hardwood steps and we are going to redo the shop door. A dog has previously chewed on it quite a bit and I broke one of the window panes when we first moved in.
